From Nick Bacanic of Purpose Films:

Two sets of screenings to announce and some quick news.

documentary film festival - "Shadow Company" screens twice

Screening #1: May 1st 8:30pm - Bloor Cinema
Screening #2: May 5th 11:30pm - Bloor Cinema

The director of the film (that is, me) will also  be speaking on a filmmaking panel earlier that  day about the making of "Shadow Company" (time to be determined) If you are a morning person you can also catch  Alan Bell and me on Canada AM (CTV) at 7:45am -  as well as a guest appearance on "The Hour" a one-hour CBC chat show that should make for some interesting discussion.

2. Boston Independent Film Festival - for those of you in New England the screening times are

Screening #1: April 21st 2006, 10:00pm, Somerville 2
Screening #2: April 22nd 2006, 12:45pm, Somerville 3

3. Washington DC screenings - locations/dates are  not confirmed yet but a number of non-governmental organisations (as well as members of the US government) have approached us about screening the film - so we will definitely be going ahead with a screening and a detailed Q&A in DC as soon as it's practical to organise the event and the invite list.

A review from the Toronto Star is below the cut.

I highly recommend it. (I saw a draft version.) You can see a trailer via their website.  Also, do read Matt Armstrong's favorable review HERE.
